ER-3682 Supersonic April 24, 2010 Share April 24, 2010 fuel additive... not oil additive.... Singapore's petrol is also 1 of the best in the world,don't need any additive,using Caltex Platium or Shell V-power for max performance. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuan 6th Gear April 24, 2010 Share April 24, 2010 fuel additive... not oil additive.... Actually, you don't get to see the chemical reaction inside between the additives and fuel. What you get is probably what you feel or think that with the additives....the car can be driven better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pisces69 6th Gear April 25, 2010 Share April 25, 2010 haha... get bigger car easier said then done.... i dont know what came over me to part with $4 for a chili sauce like packet to put in my fuel... and also the water remover thingy.... like throwing $ away now that i think of it... ============= I guess some additives do work to a certain extent but only fear is that it might cause damage to some of the parts. Like u can actually add small amounts of light engine oil to the petrol to help lube the upper cylinders & valves but it sud also cause more carbon build-up. If too much oil & extra gets to your catalytic converter, it wid damage it. There is always a trade-off. But it depends on your needs. Like if u going to whack on long drive on NSH. Then a little oil wont harm cos it lubes & extra carbon wil b blown out. I do use Redex for about 30 years. Not all the time but once in awhile I wil add abit & car feels smoother & maybe even FC improve but not all the time. I like to add some when I go for long hard drives up north as I feel it gives a bit of extra protection. So far I hav no problems with it. I guess its just use those products which have been around for a very long time sud b safer & use sparingly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces69 6th Gear April 25, 2010 Share April 25, 2010 Don't read too much into those car magazines. When itchy, just continue to drive your car and not do anything to it. =============== If want more power, better FC, smoother engine etc etc very easy. Just buy those stickers. After paste on car, sure got improvement on any & everything. If not happy with improvements just peel away & get bigger & more colourful stickers for additional improvements. No danger of harming engine & all very TP & Vicom friendly too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those r the most important item to improve all aspects of car. Without the stickers, the additives wont work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, I don't think I will use any additives in my fuel. Use the fuel grade stated in the manual or go for higher ones. Get a good engine oil and maintain regular servicing.

If u succeed, dont forget to share with me hor. Idea was mine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safest bet is to stick to normal stuff & dont put those stuff, no matter what into the car. But I have been using Redex for about 30 years & its still selling on the market which proves its safe to use. I do find some improvements with it on certain situations & use it sparingly as & when needed only. A small bottle can last me about 1 year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually I dont use them cos in my younger days, I ruined 1 bike & 2 cars with something called TMT. Now I always treat them like poison till I know for sure they wont cause any harm in the long term.
